Educational facilities or educational institutions are establishments that provides educational services like courses, trainings, lectures etc.
Tagging
Образовательные услуги могут быть основными для учреждения (в таком случае используйте тег education=*) или дополнительными (указывайте с помощью education_service:*=yes). Теги указываются на линии контура территории принадлежащей организации. В случае если точная граница неизвестна теги можно указать на точке располагающейся примерно внутри этой территории. В случае сложной конфигурации территории можно воспользоваться отношением type=education. In the case when educational services are primary for institution use education=* and if they are additional then use education_service:*=yes. Tags should be added on the polygon encompassing the territory of the facility. When exact outline could not be determined place tags on the point in the possible center of facility. In the case of complex geometry relation use type=education relation.
Types of educational institutions
There are various types of educational institution which could or could not be part of state education system. Tag education=* specifies role of the institution in educational system. Basic values of this tags are listed in the table below. Note that the set of values could be different for different education systems. For example, in educational system of USA instead of the single tag education=school it is possible to use education=elementary_school and education=high_school for two types of schools.
